PEOPLE WHO SAVE MONEY.

Occupations Represented Among q New
York Savings Banks Depositors.
"What class of people deposit most
largely with youP" was asked of Mer-
rift Trimble, president of the Bank for
Savings
"Oh, we are known as the servant
girls bank. Of the new accounts
opened with us in the year 1886, domes-
tics opened with 2,023. There were
II, 105 in all, of which no occupation
was given in 4,911, and sundry trades
1886"
Next to the domestics come clerks,
874. The laborers are not far behind,
as there were 700 of them. Seam
stresses were next, 1872, and liquor-deal-
ers with 1929. clearinghouse keepers
manage to save something, as 269 put
little in the bank. Bar-tenders are
thrifty, but there are not SO many of
them rs of liquor-dealers. Only 215
of them put away money. There are
just seven less fruiterers in the list.
Shoemakers lay by penny or two, as
1856 are among the depositors. The to-
bacconists follow closely, ia, and the
tailors and cabinet-makers are not far
behind, there being 1863 of the former
and 1853 of the latter. Tips must be more
general than is popularity supposed, AS
154 walters were among the depositors.
The carpenters are close second to
the walters, there being ISL of them, and
the butchers were one more than the
carpenters. The cartmen were las in
number, the peddlers IA, bakers 143
and washers 1877. 1t was close shave
between the BARRIERS and musicians,
but the BARRIERS, with 1873, are five
ahead. The blacksmiths pounded on
their anvils, and the grocers weighed
on their scales to the same purpose.
There are 122 of each of them, while
the painters were only one behind, and
the junk dealers were 118 in number
One hundred and nine porters carried
their savings to the bank, 108 machin-
lists, LOG agents and 103 watchmen.
There was only one more merchant
than there were bootblacks, of whom
there were an even 100. Next came
80 coachmen, 81 confectioners, 81
farmers, Sc firemen, 80 police officers,
Sc furriers, II milliners, So jewelers.,
70 conductors, 81 bookbinders and an
equal number of nurses, SO stonecut-
tiers, 70 printers, 81 plumbers, 81 ply
sicians, SO matters, SIS teachers, 46 en-
gineers, 43 gardeners and the same
number of actors and upholsterers, 48
attorneys. 3S masons, "a druggists, SO
timers, 80 artificial fowermakers, 80
varnishers, % artists and the same
number of coachmakers. There were
just a score of milkmen, IS weavers,
Is coopers, 9 each of soldiers and err
gravers, moulders. 6 each of z,As-
men and seamen, and each of bal:Yr-
makers, ostlers and oystermen.
This makes seventy-one different oc-
equations. There were grouped under
various trades" as many more, and in
those not named there were probably
one-half as many more, SO that about
IT'S different occupations out of the 21S
mentioned in the last census saved
money and rut it away on interest in
ons savings bank. If the occupations
of the depositors in all the savings
banks were given without doubt all the
occupations would be found to be rep
resented.
The larger number Of depositors put
in between $50 and $50 each, the next
largest from 800 to 800 and the next
from $40 to $50. There were 1854 that
put in between 81 and IS.
OF the depositors 1926 were married
women, 1901 single women. 1,264
widows, 1905 minors and 13l colored
persons. Tho largest mum er Of de-
posts were made in June. IN. Y. Mad
